1. General Information
1.1 Warranty
All products manufactured by Mensor are warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and
materials for a period of two years from the date of shipment. No other express warranty is given, and
no armation of Seller, by words or actions, shall constitute a warranty. SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSES
WHATSOEVER. If any defect in workmanship or material should develop under conditions of normal
use and service within the warranty period, repairs will be made at no charge to the original purchaser,
upon delivery of the product(s) to the factory, shipping charges prepaid. If inspection by Mensor or
its authorized representative reveals that the product was damaged by accident, alteration, misuse,
abuse, faulty installation or other causes beyond the control of Mensor, this warranty does not apply.
The judgment of Mensor will be nal as to all matters concerning condition of the product, the cause and
nature of a defect, and the necessity or manner of repair. Service, repairs or disassembly of the product
in any manner, performed without specic factory permission, voids this warranty.
MENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WITH REGARD TO THIS MANUAL, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Mensor shall not be liable for errors contained herein or for incidental or
consequential damages in connection with the furnishing, performance, or use of this material.
1.2 Important Notice
The product specications and other information contained in this manual are subject to
change without notice.
Any reproduction of this manual or parts thereof by any means is prohibited.
1.3 FCC Radio Frequency Emission Notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.
Use shielded cables to connect external devices to this instrument to minimize RF radiation.

1.6.1 After the Warranty
Mensor’s concern with the performance of this instrument is not limited to the warranty period. We
provide complete repair, calibration and certication services after the warranty for a nominal fee as
explained in Section 10, Maintenance.

1.6.2 Calibration Services
In addition to servicing our own products, Mensor provides complete pressure calibration services up
to 20,000 psi for many pressure instruments. This service includes a Certicate of Compliance and
Calibration and a record of traceability to the pressure standards of the United States National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST).
1.6.3 Accreditations
Mensor is registered to ISO 9001:2008. The calibration program at Mensor is accredited by A2LA, as
complying with both the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and the ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 standards.
1.7 Packaging for Shipment
If the product must be shipped to a dierent location or returned for any reason through a common carrier
it must be packaged properly to minimize the risk of damage.
The recommended method of packing is to place the instrument in a container, surrounded on all sides
with at least four inches of shock attenuation material such as styrofoam peanuts.
If the instrument will be subjected to frequent transport then the optional Transport Case shown in
Section 9, Options, might be an economical solution. This wheeled case is very rugged and provides
complete and long term protection against rough handling.

2. Safety Notices
2.1 User Responsibilities
To ensure safety, the operator must make sure that the following conditions are met:
■The system is used properly, no dangerous media are used and that all technical specications are
observed.
■The system is in perfect operating condition.
■The operation manual is legible and accessible to the user at the system’s location.
■The system is operated, serviced and repaired only by authorized and qualied personnel.
■The user receives instruction on industrial safety and environmental protection, and is knowledgeable
of all operating instructions and safety notices relevant to the current procedure.
2.2 General Safety Notices
The system should be operated only by trained personnel who are familiar with this manual
and the operation of the instrument.
A condition for trouble-free and safe operation of this system is proper transport,
proper storage, installation, assembly and proper use as well as careful operation
and maintenance.
Any operation not described in the following instructions should be prohibited. The
system must be handled with care required for an electronic precision instrument
(protect from humidity, impacts, strong magnetic elds, static electricity and
extreme temperatures). Do not insert any objects into the instrument.
The system is powered via the power cable with a voltage that can cause physical
injury. Even after disconnecting the system from the power supply, dangerous
voltages can temporarily occur due to capacitance.
Repairs must be performed only by authorized service personnel.
Additional safety notices are found throughout this manual.

2.3 Warnings and Caution Notices
WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE! High pressure gases are potentially hazardous.
Energy stored in these gases can be released suddenly and with extreme force.
High pressure systems should be assembled and operated only by personnel who
have been trained in proper safety practices.
WARNING: POSSIBLE INJURY! The tubing, valves and other apparatus attached to
the instrument must be adequate for the maximum pressure which will be applied,
otherwise physical injury to the operator or bystanders is possible.
CAUTION: Use the proper pressure medium. Use only clean, dry, noncorrosive
gases. This instrument is not designed for oxygen use.
WARNING: HIGH SOUND LEVELS! Pressures from 1000 psi and up can generate
sound levels above 80 dbA for brief periods when they are exhausted directly to
atmosphere. A muer is provided for connection to the vent port. It is the
operator’s responsibility to measure sound levels at whatever point 1 meter from
the equipment that has the highest sound pressure level. At levels above 80 dbA,
use of protective ear pieces can reduce these higher levels to a safe level.
WARNING: NOT EXPLOSION PROOF! Installation of this instrument in an area
requiring devices rated as intrinsically safe is not recommended.
WARNING: Detachable main power supply cord with inadequate ratings should not
be used. See Section 4.0, Specications, for power supply ratings.
CAUTION: ESD PROTECTION REQUIRED. The proper use of grounded work
surfaces and personal wrist straps are required when coming into contact with
exposed circuits (printed circuit boards) to prevent static discharge damage to
sensitive electronic components.
Additional Warning and Caution notes are included throughout this manual.
